Dugu Bo, the Ultimate Sucker
[What are you afraid of? A bunch of fussy mortals. This Seat 'm not the source of the infection, so naturally I won't spread this Meme!]
[Otherwise, do you think this world will still be as peaceful as it is after This Seat 've been reborn?]
[Therefore, the reason mortals are mortals is not because they are mortals, but because they perceive others as mortals. How could I, the Supreme Being, be an existence beyond your comprehension!]
Hearing this, a weight lifted from the hearts of Ning Wen and the others, but a chill still crept down their spines.
At the same time, Dugu Bo's heart was filled with complex emotions.
He has devoted most of his life to the study of poisons, and has come into contact with countless rare and extraordinary poisons, each with its own unique effects.
But Meme, which have no physical form and spread through words, images, sounds, legends, and dreams, are something he never even dreamed of.
In his understanding, even the most colorless and odorless poison has a physical form.
Meme, however, completely break out of this framework.
"Junior Ning Wen greets Senior Dugu."
Ning Wen gave a slight bow.
As the saying goes, you can't hit a smiling face.
"You know me?" Dugu Bo looked up, his voice low and hoarse.
"The number one poison Soul Master in the world, the famous Poison Douluo, how could I not know him?" Ning Wen with a slight smile.
"The world's number one poison Soul Master?"
Dugu Bo chuckled self-deprecatingly, "I am unworthy of such praise."
Upon hearing this, Ning Wen was slightly taken aback.
Wasn't Dugu Bo extremely confident in his poison skills?
Even though Tang San repeatedly humiliated them, it didn't come to this.
What's going on here?
At least they have some self-awareness!
[To be consumed by one's own toxins day and night, how dare one call oneself the best in the world? One is nothing but a frog in a well.]
[Only a low-level world like Douluo Continent would elevate a third-rate poison master like Dugu Bo to such a high level.]
Ning Wen: "..."
Although you didn't use any profanities, your insults were really harsh!
If Dugu Bo heard this, he would definitely explode on the spot.
And that is indeed the case.
Dugu Bo's veins bulged, and he was about to teach the brat a lesson, but remembering the strange voice in his mind, he ultimately held back.
"Senior Dugu, do you experience a tingling or itchy sensation in your ribs whenever it's cloudy or rainy, and does it gradually intensify and last for more than an hour, occurring once at noon and once at midnight?"
Just then, Ning Wen suddenly spoke up, "Every night, around the third watch of the night, I experience needle-like stabbing pains on the top of my head and the soles of my feet, along with spasms throughout my body, lasting for at least half an hour."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's eyes narrowed slightly.
These ailments tormented him greatly, and there had been no solution for a long time.
This was his biggest secret, one that even his granddaughter didn't know in such detail.
Therefore, the authenticity of those thoughts is probably very high.
"Kid, what do you mean by that?"
Dugu Bo appeared in front of Ning Wen in a flash, exuding the pressure of Titled Douluo.
"I told you, you're poisoned, and it's your own poison."
Ning Wen's expression remained calm, as if he were unaffected.
Do you think the poison in my body can be cured?
After a moment of contemplation, Dugu Bo slowly spoke.
[Hmph, an antidote?]
Although I am not an expert in poisons, I can easily cure This Seat kind of poison.
"The Jade-Scaled Serpent Poison has merged with Senior Dugu's Martial Soul Fusion, making ordinary detoxification methods ineffective."
Ning Wen looked up and stared directly at Dugu Bo, then threw down his bargaining chip. "Let's make a deal."
"A deal?" Dugu Bo's hoarse voice carried a hint of wariness. "I'd like to hear what kind of deal you want."
[Finally, they took the bait!]
[What this great traitor desires most now is to get rid of the poison's backlash and to help his granddaughter, Dugu Yan, overcome the flaws of the Jade-Scaled Serpent Martial Soul.]
[In his past life, Tang San grasped these two points, which is why he was able to control him so easily.]
[This time it's my This Seat.]
Dugu Bo's face darkened.
Good grief, they're all trying to manipulate him like this.
What do they take him for!
A victim of injustice, manipulated by others?
A surge of overwhelming resentment welled up in his heart, yet Dugu Bo remained perfectly clear-headed.
He couldn't do anything to this kid in front of him.
All the resentment, bitterness, and frustration could only be transferred onto Tang San in the end.
Ning Wen may have no choice, but isn't Tang San capable enough?
[In truth, this life has indeed seen many changes compared to the previous one.]
[ In This Seat previous life, I also asked Ning Fengzhi to search for books related to Immortal Herb, but to no avail.]
[But in this life, they found him in just a few days.]
Otherwise, in This Seat previous life, I wouldn't have only managed to acquire a few familiar immortal Immortal Herb from Dugu Bo.
Ning Wen raised an eyebrow, a thoughtful look flashing across his face.
He had previously felt that there were obvious flaws in what the Voice Pack contained.
Now that things have turned out this way, some aspects do make sense.
For example, why did Tang San obtain the opportunity in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, but Yu Xiaogang never broke through level 30 in his entire life?
Even without the Immortal Herb Catalog, the method to cure the deadly poison in Dugu Bo's body was already clearly written in the original work.
If it were him, he would definitely use this method to make a deal with Dugu Bo.
In that case, Tang San should no longer be able to control Dugu Bo.
But why did Dugu Bo still join Tang San's side?
[Dugu Bo deserved to be so badly betrayed by Tang San in his previous life.]
[The author had already made a deal with Dugu Bo regarding the antidote, but this guy listened to Tang San's slander and believed that this couldn't cure the root cause of the Martial Soul's problem.]
[Utterly ridiculous!]
[This was originally Tang San's own proposed method, but unexpectedly, he himself overturned it.]
[This is truly contradicting himself!]
[And Dugu Bo, that great traitor, actually believed it. In the end, he gained nothing but eternal infamy, and his entire Dugu Lineage had to change its name and surname!]
Speak of the Cao Cao, Cao Cao appears, doesn't he?
Ning Wen had just thought of this question when you answered it directly.
To be honest, he really didn't understand Dugu Bo's actions.
Solve your own problems first before worrying about the future; otherwise, it's just pure nonsense.
Ning Wen's gaze towards Dugu Bo turned strange.
Good heavens, he was truly tricked; just like Ning Fengzhi, he practically delivered himself into their trap.
Dugu Yan and Xiao Wu both looked at Dugu Bo with the same expression.
They also felt that Dugu Bo was not wronged in being tricked.
In fact, even Dugu Bo himself couldn't understand what he was thinking at that time, that he was fooled by Tang San.
This also strengthened Dugu Bo's resolve that if he encountered Tang San again, he would never waste a single word and would simply poison him to death.
